Dr Guillotin
present his six articles for the second time.

1.Offences
of the same kind will be punished by the same kind of penalty.

2.In
all cases where the law imposes the death penalty on an accused
person, the punishment shall be the same, whatever the nature
of the offence of which he is guilty; the criminal shall be decapitated;
this will be done solely by means of a simple mechanism.

3.In
view of the personal character of crime, no punishment of a guilty
person shall involve and discredit to his family. The honour
of those belonging to him shall be in no way soiled, and they
shall continue to be no less admissible to any kind of professional
employment and public function.

4.No
one shall reproach a citizen with any punishment imposed on one
of his relatives. Whosoever ventures to do so shall be publicly
reprimanded by the judge. The sentence imposed on him shall be
written up on the offender's door. Moreover, it shall be written
up on the pillory and remain there for a period of three months.

5.Confiscation
of the condemned person's property shall in no case be imposed.

6.The
corpse of an executed man shall be handed over to his family
on their request. In every case, he shall be allowed normal burial
and no reference shall be made on the register to the nature
of his death.
